The Thames

(diversion)

The tide was very low again today so I took a walk across the shingle. Some parts were slippy and sludgy, other parts - particularly right by the river - were dry, like a beach. The embankments created a wind tunnel so as I walked up I could hear nothing, but when I stopped and let one ear have a rest, a faint saxophone drifted by. I'm quite sure that when I leave London, I will miss the Thames most.
